GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA) 10-4 HIS L14
(NBA) Orlando vs. New Orleans,
Point Spread: -4.50 | -108.00 New Orleans (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: Anthony Davis won't be playing for the Pelicans next year and while he's also going to be playing limited minutes, he'll still be a "man on a mission" as he looks to cement his resume before moving on. The Pelicans will be hungry here after their 99-90 loss on the road in Memphis. The Magic on the other hand look poised for a classic letdown in my opinion after their 124-108 road in Atlanta in their most recent action. The Magic average 105.2 PPG and they allow 107.5. The Pelicans average 115.8 PPG and they allow 114.6.

The pick: Take it for what you will though, but Orlando is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600 and only 3-8 ATS in its last 11 vs. the Western Conference, while New Orleans is 4-0 ATS in its last four following a SU loss and 6-1 ATS in its last seven following an ATS setback. Lay the points.
